My invention relates to coat and hat hangers and refers more particularly to the combination of a folding coat hanger and hat stand. V f One object of my invention is to provide a simple, effective coat hanger that is adapted to be folded and occupy a very small space.

Another object of my invention is to provide a coat hanger that is adapted, when folded, to provide a hat stand.

A further object of my invention is to provide a combined folding coat hanger and hat stand, the base of which is formed with a hook to simulate the head of an animal,

bird, or the like.

A still further object of my invention is toprovide a combined coat hanger and hat stand that is comprised of a base and two arms which are adapted to be screwed into the base either to form a coat hanger or a hat stand.

It is well knownin the art that coat hangershave been made, but none of them incorporate the specific elements of this device, or have the same organization of particular parts.

I attain these results preferably by the means illustrated in the accompanying drawing, wherein similar. parts are referred to by like numerals throughout the several views, in which Figure 1 is an elevation of one form of the device. i

V Figure 2 is an elevation of another form of the device.

Figure 3 is a plan of Figure 2.

Figure 4 is an elevation of Figure 2, positioned to form a hat stand.

The device in Figure 1 is comprised of a base 1, extended upwardly and formed to provide an opening 2 and a loop 3, which is adapted to hang the device up.

Extending outwarclly'from the vertical centerline of the device are projections 4' and 5, the projection 4 circularly formed at 6 and provided with stops 7 and 8-for a bifurcated arm 9 which is pivoted at 10, and the projection 5 is formed circularly at 11, provided with stops 12 and 13, for

the bifurcated arm 14, pivoted at 15,,and the bottom of this device is symmetrically formed at 16 so as to present an attractive appearance.

The arms .9 and 14, on each side of the bifurcation, are extended outwardly at 17 18, 19 and 20, respectively, and each arm is roundedat 21 and 22, in any 'suitablemanner.

The device shown in Figure 2 is exactly the same as shown in Figure 1, except that a loop 3 is done away with and the device isformed. in the shape of a hook at 23, which hook may be made to simulate the head of an animal,bird, etc. 1 The device shown in Figures 1 and 2, illustrates the arms 9 and 14 positioned to be used as a coat hanger, and in Figure 3 the arms are positioned as shown. wherein the arts 17, 18, 19, and-2O serve as feet to support the device when it is utilized as a hat stand. In the device shown in Figures 1 and 2 the arms 9 and 14; provide feet for support- 7 ing the base 1 in a vertical position provid ing means for holding a hat. Having thus illustrated and described the preferred embodiment of my invention, I do not wish to limit myself to the exact construction or arrangement of parts shown, since it is evident that modifications may be made therein, without departing from the spirit of the invention or scope of the claim.

I claim p In a combination apparel hanger and hat stand, a base formed to provide a hang- 5' ing means, with bifurcated, pivoted arms, each side of the base piece having a sector and stops to provide means for engaging and r positioning the said bifurcated arm against the stops, said arms positionable against said stops, providing 'a hat stand.
